T-test and ANOVA were used to compare the mean values. Findings: The mean Customer Quality was calculated to be 60.42±10.07. While ~84.4% of the patients fell in the third self-management-capability category, ~86% stated that they can help prevention of diseases or decrease the risks related to their health, ~97.% believed that their participation in provision of healthcare services is important to their health improvement, ~83% stated that after receiving treatment from the medical teams, they themselves are responsible for their health, 75% of patients consider themselves as a member of health team, and ~53% stated that they are not informed about development and prognosis of their disease. Conclusions: Our results clearly indicate the positive attitudes of cardiovascular patients towards contributing to healthcare process and self-care. Despite strong implication of of this positive attitude in attaining a high Customer Quality level, its potential impact on healthcare performance remains untapped due to the limited knowledge of patients on the nature of their diseases and the associated health-care and health-efficacy. Our findings implies the need for systematic inclusion of training services in health setting for increasing the awareness of patients on different aspects of their diseases and improving their communicative and self-efficacy skills, in order to attain higher Customer Quality-based healthcare outcome.]]>
